The new number of the Art Journal is a very

bright one. Among the more generally interesting articles is one signed "Marion Hepworth Dixon," on that eminent Scotch artist and "rational realist," Mr. David Murray. Messrs. Val Prinsep and Lionel Robinson write on the extraordinary collection of the late Mr. Frederick Leyland, in Prince's Gate. Mr. Prinsep brings out in a most effectual yet simple fashion the cordial relations between those two most singularly assorted friends, Leyland and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the one the most businesslike, the other the most unmethodical, of men.
